Hi!
I have a problem getting my android emulator to work. After i run my android application project, the emulator starts, but instead of showing my application, it says the following : "Power off. Shutting down..." and then the screen goes black. I'm unable to launch my application or do anything in the emulator.
What might be the problem? My target SDK is 1.5, and the device i chose is Nexus One. Thank you
did it work before?
did try to wipe user data? (avd-launch option)
//edit:
I think Fuad is wrong:
if you change the ramSize to 1024M or 1024MB, the virtual device's amount of RAM is just set to 256MB
I had problem at first some thing like this for using android SDK...check this maybe helps you :
(YourWindowsDrive)C:\Users\YourLoginName(mine is Fuad) \ .android\avd\App.avd(This App.avd is a folder the name what I have used for my avd)
then in folder U see "config.ini". open it and change "hw.ramSize=1024" (mine is 1024 and maybe yours is different) to :
hw.ramSize=1024M

I've tried to create a new emulator for Android 4.2.2 but it can't start at all, my setup like this
After I launch this emulator, lot's of Logcat errors show up and emulator never boot up. The error message like this
I've tried to increase RAM size and also turn off camera emulation option, etc, but it still doesn't work. If anyone has experience to resolve this problem, please help.
Has far I know, never use more than 768MB of ram. Try to change it to 768MB or 512MB.
It solved my problem.
I have used Eclipse to write apps for android multiple times without issue but I am now trying the new Android Studio which I like but here is my problem.
When I run the app I pick my AVD and then tell it to start. The emulator starts loading and then says paired. Then it starts telling me to swipe up and left and right to display and remove cards. Then it says to put hand on screen to dim the screen, ok well I'm on a MacBook Pro so that don't work I swipe to get past that part sometime I can others I can't. Next it says to touch the clock and say some words which also can't do on my Mac, and that is where the emulator stay it never goes to a home screen and it does this no matter what AVD I choose. How can I get the Emulator to just plain open to the home screen like it should.
Thanks for any help.
In your AVD Manager, edit your AVD and make sure your Target is "Android L" and not "Android X.XW". The "W" stands for "wear" and that is causing your issue.
Alright I figured it out. I remember having a similar problem recently when I was taking an android development class for college using eclipse and sure enough that was it.
So here was the solution eclipse gave same problem. for some reason if you have caught exemptions such as hard coding a string etc. the emulator will not run till you ignore these exemptions or fix every last ! mark in your code. Once you do this the emulator will load and run properly.
I also had the same problem with my AVD. The Android Emulator window just used to pop us and the green bars flowed infinitely. After lots of trial and error I arrived at a solution for my problem. the problem was with the Heap size and the RAM size.
Initially the default heap size was 128 MB and RAM was 1563 , I just changed the heap size to 512 MB and reduced the RAM size( high RAM was making my PC run slow) also I enabled hardware acceleration. And Yipeee, it worked.
The problem started when I changed the skin built-in display setting to WXGA720.
Then everytime I'm trying to run the emulator it says the following message:
Starting emulator for AVD 'android403'
Failed to allocate memory: 8
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I already tried to lower down the RAM size to 800 MB and then 512 MB (or even 256) but it didn't work either...
I don't know what to do...
Here's a screenshot of the emulator settings window:
Thanx upfront.
I do sometimes have the same problem. Maybe my solution works for you as well: Instead of choosing the WXGA720 skin preset, manually set the resolution to 720*1280, and manually set the RAM to 768 or even 512.
Seems stupid, but it makes a difference if the skin preset is uses or a manual resolution configuration.
I had the same problem. I have set the resolution manually to 720 X 1280. Set the RAM size as 128MB and SSD to 16 MB. The app came up without any problems after that
This may sound silly, but I resolved the issue by adding "MB" after the RAM setting, changing (for example) 1024 to 1024MB.
I figured it out. The problem was in the amount of ram I had specified for the virtual machine, and it was 1024MB, now I have 512MB and it is ok. enjoy ;)
I also faced the same problem for x86 emulator for android 4.0.3. This problems happens to me only when i try to launch emulator from eclipse. But works fine when i launched the emulator from command line. Try to launch the emulator from command line.
Go to android tool directory and use "emulator -avd " to launch your emulator.
I had the same problem, trying to emulate the Galaxy S3. Setting the resolution to 720 x 1280 and dropping ram from 1024 to 700 worked for me. Could't get it to work at all on the built in wxga720 settings.
I was with the same problem today, but I manage how to solve it ( at least for me, because I was doing it in the wrong way), hope that it can be usefull for you too.
I was trying to change de Device RAM memory direct by Eclipse via Android Virtual Device Manager. I don't know why, but this changes does not affect the "hardware.ini" file that is present in : \android-sdk\platforms\android-16\skins\WXGA800-7in , for example.
To change the device RAM, or just to add MB you need to change this file.
I am beginning android development using the latest versions of the android SDK and eclipse. I have followed the Hello Android Tutorial
and used every combination of targets available but the Emulator freezes on the load screen with the flashing "android" title.
I have checked the other related question and DID wait about 15 minutes. but still no change. Any help with this would be great. Thanks.
I had a similar issue, and still do sometimes today. Have you tried deleting the AVD and then re-creating it?
Also try changing some of the AVD's values, give it more ram, larger SD card. You can do this through Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager > Edit the AVD, and then add values / modify the SD card size.
EDIT: Also - just for reference, I have a Intel Core i7 with 16gb of RAM and AVD's STILL take forever to load.
EDIT: Another handy thing to know is that if you check the "Snapshot" option when editing the AVD, it will save the last state and load that instead of a full [slow] boot. Kind of like putting your computer to sleep.
Adding values / modify the SD card size may be better .
Try not to close the Android Emulator , to avoid re-open .
Yah android emulator takes time to start up, but it should start within 2-3 mins. Check your RAM and processor. The RAM must be atleast 1GB (preferably more) to speed up loading emulator.
When i run the emulator is running up to the process big text android. After that is not responding. In Eclipse console showing text "Wait for Home" I tried re-install of android also
My System properties Microsoft Windows XP, 0.99GB of RAM
Any help me for this problem Advanced Thanks
The emulator takes a long time to load the first time, several minutes, and in this time only shows 'Android' in large text. Wait a couple of minutes and then you should be fine.
Make sure your SD card file is large enough. I've found the minimum Eclipse enforces (9MB) isn't enough for it to boot.
You may also have to use a different computer or upgrade your RAM. Modern phones have around 500MB RAM, so .99 GB maybe not be enough to go around for Eclipse, Windows XP, and the emulator.
As a last resort, you could reformat. I was having a similar problem and it worked after reformatting.
Don't rush to reinstall the SDK. Try creating a new AVD with the same API level that your original one had and run your app on that one. If that's OK just delete the original one as its image may be corrupted. You won't lose anything and it's not worth spending time on trying to fix it.
Edited:
The solution which worked for me is, when you get the message
Waiting for HOME ('android.process.acore') to be launched...
wait for few seconds and then right click on the project and click run as android application once again.
I once had similar problem. This solution worked for me. When I launch the emulator, I chose wipe user data option on the launch options window. Hope this help.
